2 Timothy Storyline

2 Timothy establishes that a minister's courage to proclaim the gospel without shame flows from the power of God's calling, not from circumstances; this courage then sustains faithful endurance through suffering and opposition, until Christ returns to judge the living and the dead and to reward those who have loved His appearing.
